7 things you need to know before buy your first electric bike(2)

Date:Dec 4,2017

There are two mains types of electric bike. The most common is “pedelec”. This type of system monitors your pedaling and adds a certain amount of motor assistance – usually depending upon rate, force and speed. In most countries, the output of the motor is regulated and limited to 250 W, and the maximum speed up to 25 km/h. When you reach this speed, the motor automatically switches off. There are also fast high-performance e-bikes that can achieve a speed around 45 km/h. The regulations differ in every country, so it’s important to ask in your local shop for details.
